This guide covers the essential tasks for managing your tee sheet effectively.
Viewing Your Tee Sheet
Day View
The day view shows detailed tee times for a specific date:
- Navigate to the Tee Sheet page from the main navigation
- Select the date you want to view using the date picker
- Use the course filter to view specific courses (only shown for clubs with multiple courses)
- Click the left/right arrows to navigate between days
Month View
The month view provides a bird's-eye view of your entire schedule:

- Use the mouse wheel to scroll between months
- Click on the month name to select a specific month from the calendar
- Each date shows:
- Booked/Total slots (e.g., "45/60 booked")
- Locked slots if tee times haven't been unlocked yet
- Visual indicators for availability
- Click on any date to view details or create tee times for that day
:::tip[Progressive Disclosure] The course filter only appears when you have multiple courses configured. This keeps the interface clean for single-course clubs. :::
Multi-Course Support
If your club operates multiple courses, ClubPapel provides tools to manage them efficiently:
Course Headers
- Each course displays as a separate column in day view
- Course names appear at the top of each column
- Course-specific tee times are color-coded
Course Filtering
- Click the course filter button (map pin icon) in the filter bar
- Select "All Courses" to view all courses side-by-side
- Select a specific course to focus on just that course
- The filter remembers your selection as you navigate
Per-Course Configuration
- Each course can have different:
- Operating hours (start/end times)
- Tee time intervals (6, 8, 10, or 12 minutes)
- Pricing structures
- Included amenities (golf carts, range balls, etc.)
Tee Time Amenities
Each tee time automatically displays amenities that help players understand what's included and available:
Standard Amenities (Always Shown)
Every tee time displays:
- Holes: Shows "18 Holes" or "9 Holes" based on the booking
- Golfers: Shows the capacity, e.g., "1 - 4 golfers"
Course-Specific Included Amenities
Amenities configured per course that are included with the tee time:
- Golf Cart: If included in the base price
- Range Balls: If complimentary range balls are included
:::tip[Configuring Amenities] Included amenities are set per course in your course configuration. For example:
- Championship courses might include only golf carts
- Executive courses might include both golf carts and range balls
- Walking-friendly courses might not include carts by default :::
How Amenities Work
- When creating tee times (manually or in bulk), amenities are automatically assigned based on the course configuration
- Players see these amenities when browsing available tee times on the booking page
- Amenities not included as standard can be offered as optional add-ons during checkout
- Each course can have its own amenity package to match its positioning and pricing
:::note[Future Enhancement] Optional amenities (add-ons that customers can choose during booking) will be configurable per course and can include items like premium carts, club rentals, or additional range balls. :::
